I have a pet that "seems" to be helping me in battles as I quest. When I am in battle with some creature I find along the way, my pet appears to be following the NPC I'm doing battle with and not me. What it's doing, I'm not sure, but it seems to be attacking the NPC.

I don't have the pet version of Pebble, but I know the one that follows you around on quests does the visual of "throw a rock at the enemy." I'm pretty sure it doesn't do anything, and I don't know if the pet one does it, but this was the first thing to pop into my head when I read it...
